title: Is vertebral artery passage through the foramen transversarium related to axillary artery perforation into the brachial plexus?
abstract: Matching examinations between the level of axillary artery perforation into the brachial plexus and the level of vertebral artery passage through the foramen transversarium were performed on 42 sides in 21 cadavers. As a result, it became clear that the two levels vary independently of each other.
